Milly's warm expression again turned impassive as she nodded toward Feng before she sat beside Thomas.
Thomas didn't say anything. He knew his wife didn't like Feng after they dig out his complete history last night.
Even Thomas thought Feng's reputation was just too peculiar, but he couldn't help but think that information might be false because he himself meet Feng, and he found Feng quite unfathomed and not as reckless or arrogant as all those documents described him to be.
Furthermore, Feng didn't show any kind of reaction after seeing Milly. He knew Milly's beauty wasn't something that a lustful fellow like Feng could resist. Even if he hid his expression, he won't be able to hide his soul's undulations from his protector!
This was a test purpose by Milly herself, and if Feng really showed any kind of bizarre emotions toward her, Thomas would've not even seen Feng and have him leave from the door.But out of Milly's expectation, Feng didn't even react after seeing her as if he was looking at an ordinary demoness. Which somewhat earned Milly's respect as well as resentment.
Nevertheless, she had no choice but to invite Feng in since he passed the test.
Ace had no idea about it, but even if he had, he would only scoff.
Thomas happily signaled Ace to start without restraint.
Ace was foody himself, and it was his first-time eating food of the demon race, and this was homemade by Milly as well. He could tell Thomas and Milly's relationship was very close, and they didn't have maids, which also means Milly took good care of Thomas.
But Ace smiled wryly when he saw such a heavy feast for a breakfast and could only put it back on his head since it might be the demon race's custom, besides they were all cultivators, so it doesn't matter what they eat or when they eat as long as it wasn't full of Qi.
After the scrumptious meal, Ace couldn't help but praise Milly's cooking, which earned him some of Milly's goodwill, and Thomas smiled gleefully."Brother Thomas, I never thought I will have such a warm meal so far from home and I must confess, it's been a long time since I've eaten a homemade meal." Ace truthfully praised. He was telling absolutely true.
He was always on the move, and he seldom ate in some restaurant or cooked it himself. It was unimaginable for him to eat a meal like this and he least expect to eat it in the demon race.
He felt Thomas was really someone worth befriending, but he knew it was nothing but a pipe dream since he was a human, and Thomas only treated him nicely because he had his own agenda.
"Hahaha… Brother Feng, you're too kind." Thomas felt quite good at Ace's genuine praise. His evaluation of Feng greatly changed as well.
Milly quickly change the dishes with wine glasses and wine and after pouring wine for all of them, she quietly sat on her position. She never spoke a word from the start of the meal and only observed.
Thomas's expression turned somewhat serious at this moment as he said, "Brother Feng, I thought about our conversation the last day, and I think I can help you gain a noble demon title within two weeks."
Ace knew this would come, and he was completely prepared. He said, "Since this was the case, then I wonder what Brother Thomas wants from me. I know everything had a price. Please speak your mind without holding back."
Thomas greatly appreciated Feng's sincerity. He also didn't want to beat around the bush. He replied, "I want nothing excessive from brother Feng besides a simple oath or more of promise."
'I knew it won't be so simple.' Ace smiled wryly, he said, "What kind of promise, if I may ask?"
Thomas didn't expect to Feng react this calmly. He knew when he said oath; he was obviously hinting at an oath contract. But Feng reacted a little.
He said with uncertainty, "Before this, brother Feng, can you tell me how confident are you in acquiring a noble demon title?"
Ace knew this guy still had his misgiving about his strength and decided to show him something.
Thomas and Milly's eyes narrowed when they saw Feng showing his index finger to them with a smile, and suddenly a light green Qi enveloped his finger, forming a finger blade.
But this wasn't all, but a vague white sheen could be seen on the edge of this green finger blade.
"Half Sword Intent!" A deep elderly voice sounded at this moment with a hint of surprise.
Both Milly and Thomas's expressions turned into shock when they heard 'Half Sword Intent' and Feng was 'shocked' when he heard this old voice.
"Grandpa Maddux, are you sure?" Thomas quickly asked without even explaining to 'dumbfounded' Feng.
Maddux's old voice rang again, "Yes, this young friend has indeed comprehended half sword intent, and it seemed he has excellent control over it. I think we belittle this young friend and showed a poor side of our Cheveyo Tribe this time. Little Thomas, there's no need for an oath contract. This young friend is worthy of your friendship and respect…"
Feng finally 'snapped out of his stupor' and quickly said with extreme respect, "Junior Feng pays his respect to the old senior, and I'm not worthy of the senior's praise."
"Heh, there's no need to act humble. You have comprehended a half sword intent just like His Majesty Blade Demon King's youngest son, who's considered an unparalleled genius of Mighty Blade Province. You're worthy of such praise." Maddux's voice was filled with respect and reminisce as he mentioned the Blade Demon King.
However, Ace was shocked when he heard this piece of news. He has no idea that there was someone else who had comprehended a half sword intent, and it seemed that demon was nothing but ordinary since he was the son of Blade Demon King!
